SPEOIFIGA'IIONforming part of Letters Patent No. 638,939, dated December 12, 1899.

Application filed May 4, 1899. Serial No. 715,599. (No model.)

To ctZZ whom itmay concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE REGAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, (Brooklyn,) in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Holders for N ursing-Bottles, &c., of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a baby-feeder and holder for nursing-bottles and is adapted to be secured to the chair in which the child is seated and to present the bottle filled with the milk in convenient proximity to the child.

The invention consists in the details of construction hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 shows a perspective View of the invention in use. Fig. 2 is a like view showing the device after the bottle has been removed. Fig. 3 is a detail view showing the construction of the pivoted support.

In the accompanying drawings a clampingframe A is provided having a clamp a, which secures it to the chair or other support. Pivoted to the clamping-frame is a support B, and this is connected to the bracket A by spring I), which normally keeps the support Carried by the pivoted spring-support B is a wire frame 0, this comprising a single piece of wire bent into proper shape and having its ends supported in the part B by passing down through openings in ribs 6, formed on each side of the support B at top and bottom, and the wires are held from movement by a clamp f of bow form, notched on its edges to engage the wires and engaged by a clampingrscrew g, which forces the bow in contact with the wires of the frame and prevents displacement. When it is desired to remove the bottle-support for any purpose, the thumb-screw may be loosened and the frame taken out. The wire frame is bent in any suitable shape .to receive the bottle, as shown in Fig. 1, the wires being looped, so'as to form a support for the under side of the bottle, as at h and i, and a projection extends outwardly to engage the neck of the bottle to steady it and help support it, and the end of this extension may also engage the edge of the nipple and tend to hold it in place. A stay-piece 1 holds the wires of the frame together, and this may be disengaged when it is desired to spread the wires to insert or remove the bottle. As the bottle-frame is ofwire, it can of course be readily adjusted by bending. I may use a spring on each side; but one spring will or dinarily 'be suificient.

What I claim is p Y 1. In a holder for nursing zbottles, a clamping-support, a frame pivoted thereto under spring tension and a wire frame consisting of substantially parallel wires with the ends of the wires secured to said pivoted frame, the opposite portion of said wires being adapted to embrace the bottle and a stay-piece connectin g said wires, substantially as described.

2. In'oombination with the clamp and frame pivoted thereto, a frame composed of wire having parallel portions secured to said pivoted frame and having angular bent portions forming embracing-arms and having also an extension beyond said angular bent portions forming a support for the bottle-neck and a stay-piece detachably connecting said wires, substantially as described.

3.-In combination, the clamp, the frame pivoted thereto at the upper edge of the same,

the tension-sprin g connecting the lower edges of the frame and clamp, the clamping device carried by said pivoted frame, and the bottle-support adj ustably held by said clamping device, substantially as described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.
